APP DESIGN STARTER KIT - 5 premium mobile app designs in one. React Native Expo. Every app you build with AI ends up looking the same. Same layout, same colors, same spacing, same generic feel, same AI slop. You spend more time fixing UI and wasting credits than building features. Then you show it to someone and it still looks like every other AI-generated app. This gives you 5 completely different production-ready app frontends. Each with its own font pairing, color system, spacing rules, and clean design personality. Browse the designs, pick the one that fits your vision, use it as your foundation. Your app instantly looks like a real product, not a template. Custom animations, micro-interactions, premium typography, intentional spacing. Every screen designed to feel like it belongs on the App Store. Stop fighting generic UI. Start with design that already looks good.

Brand DNA Engine — ÆTHER
A workflow-native creative direction system for building coherent luxury brand ecosystems with AI.
Brand DNA Engine is an AI-native creative direction system built entirely in Melius that transforms vague startup ideas into coherent, launch-ready luxury brand ecosystems.
Using connected AI workflows and multiple node types, the system analyzes positioning, emotional tone, visual language, and audience intent before generating unified identity systems, UI concepts, campaign visuals, messaging systems, and cinematic brand outputs.
The workflow emphasizes collaborative refinement between human creative direction and AI orchestration, allowing the entire ecosystem to evolve coherently through iterative feedback loops.
For this project, I created ÆTHER, a fictional luxury AI wellness intelligence brand designed for high-performing creatives.
Process Overview
Creative Briefing Inputs
I began by creating structured input nodes for the startup concept, audience, emotional tone, and visual direction of the fictional brand ÆTHER.
AI Analysis Layer
Using Melius AI agents, I created workflow nodes that analyzed:
emotional positioning
visual language
luxury references
campaign tone
typography direction
architectural/editorial aesthetics
Brand DNA Synthesis
The workflow then synthesized these analyses into a central “Brand DNA” system that acted as the creative intelligence layer for all downstream outputs.
Parallel Creative Generation
From the Brand DNA system, the workflow branched into multiple generation systems:
Identity System
UI System
Campaign System
Messaging System
Refinement Loops
The most important stage was collaborative refinement. I introduced creative direction shifts such as:
“Push the system toward brutalist editorial luxury.”
The workflow then evolved the entire ecosystem coherently across campaigns, UI, typography, messaging, and visual tone.
Final Outputs
The final workflow generated cinematic launch posters, editorial campaigns, luxury landing page concepts, and a final “Brand Universe” visual, all designed to feel part of the same cohesive creative world.
Building with Melius
What stood out most while building this project was how naturally Melius supports workflow-native creative thinking instead of isolated prompting.
The visual canvas made it possible to structure creative direction as a connected system rather than generating disconnected outputs. The ability to branch workflows, connect reasoning layers, and iterate through refinement loops made the experience feel much closer to a real creative agency process.
The strongest part of the platform for me was the ability to visually orchestrate AI collaboration. Instead of a single prompt leading to a final result, the workflow became a living creative system where positioning, visual language, campaigns, UI, and messaging could evolve together coherently.
I also found the visual nature of the workflow particularly useful for storytelling and presentation. Seeing the progression from briefing > analysis > synthesis > refinement made the creative process feel much more transparent and intentional.
love how sleek this feels!
I'm building something I deeply needed myself
And I guess it's time to make it official:
meet aftrglo.app ✨
It started from my own design frustration, curiosity, and a crazy amount of tiny motion experiments. Then I asked other designers about it and turned out this wasn't only my weird little need. This thing actually makes sense
So now it's slowly becoming an actual product
I don't know how to do a perfect launch
I'm not ready
I'm afraid af
But I'm building it anyway
And I'll be sharing the process here 🙌
Interesting. Would love to use try it!🙌
